Monthly Nadeshiko News of March

The blossom ornamental hairpin that shines on maiko’s beautiful black hair, gives a sign of the coming of spring. Athough the weather is still a bit chilly in Kyoto, there are plenty of events for geiko(mature geisha) and maiko(geisha) to take part in.

However, this month’s full of festivals and events is actually a great challenge for geiko and maiko. Starting from the festival dance in Kitano on 25th March to all kinds of festivals coming up in April and May, geiko and maiko are practicing hard everyday. Experienced mature geiko and maiko are facing the challenge of holding all kinds of responsibilities while new geiko and maiko are trying their best to help.

It is because of all the precious time and great effort these geiko and maiko had put in, we all could enjoy their remarkable and wonderful performance that could touch our hearts.
